Created attachment 61 [details] moderate message for caolan
Research: Caolan is subscribed to dev@openoffice.org as: "caolan.mcnamara@sun.com" Mod messages are from: "Caolan.McNamara@sun.com" He's sub'd twice to ooposters: 1) "caolan.mcnamara@sun.com" 2) "caolan.mcnamara@germany.sun.com case-sensitivity should not be an issue, so this is mysterious. Will refer to edk for diagnosis and recommendation.
Some months ago I made the experience that the Return-Path: header content must match the subscribed address, at least it was the case when subscribing to a list. Maybe that is connected to this issue?
Email sent to edk for support
The value which gets put into return-path -- the envelope sender -- is what matters, not the From: address. When you get moderation requests, what does the allow-... address look like? Goolie -- you should be able to get the envelope sender by looking at that line, assuming you're seeing a cc to allow-... If you're using a recent version of mutt, you can get it to set the envelope sender (this also requires cooperation from your MTA). The following setting works if your mutt is >= 1.2.x ... set envelope_from=yes
I think we found it. a more detailed study of mail headers revealed that Caolan's Return-Path is cm102109@eham02-sunray.Germany.Sun.COM; this address is the one that ezmlm checks for. i have added this address to OOposters; this should fix the problem. If there has been no more activity on this issue by next week, i will close it out.
Right I have set envelope_from thingy for this, and our MTA is happy with it, so I'll go post some trivia here and there and see if it works now, but there is the curious issue that it did seem to work previously, unless maybe they were all being hand moderated and I wasn't aware of it! ooposter "cm102109@eham02-sunray.Germany.Sun.COM" isn't a long term solution as this *will* change. envelope_from sounds like my friend. C.
To test whether envelope_from *is* Caolan's friend I removed cm102... from ooposters
Caolan, does this seem to be resolved?
Yep its fixed, my last mail to the problem group went through smoothly.
closed.
